Administrators Gail Posted December 17, 2008 Administrators Posted December 17, 2008 Okay, now it's time to: "Don we now our gay apparel!" Are you aware of any other outdated Christmas song lyrics that really should be changed? Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Liz Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 In Rocking Around the Christmas Tree, there is a line that goes: We'll be dancin' in that new old fashioned way. What does that mean? "New old fashioned"? It came on in the car today, and I have been bugging my family trying to get them to explain that.

aldona Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 "The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes." does anybody seriously believe that Jesus as a baby would not have used the only way that a baby has of alerting his mother to the fact that he is hungry, cold, has a wet diaper or has been startled out of sleep by farm animal noises? This lyric must have started as an attempt to guilt-trip small children into not crying. But based on the number of times I have read the "small-babies-cry-therefore-they-are-selfish-and-sinful" view on these forums, it is obviously a widely held view. aldona Quote www.asrc.org.au (Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Melbourne)Helping over 2000 refugees & asylum seekers each monthIMSLP/Petrucci Music LibraryThe Public Domain Music Score Library - Free Sheet Music DownloadsLooking for classical sheet music?

Liz Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 How about in Santa Baby, where it says slip a sable under the tree. I think PETA would have a problem with that.

cricket Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Slip a sable under the tree?! Never heard of that. What's a sable? (And, if that was a typo, Liz, I'm sorry...don't mean to sound sarcastic here.) Quote
Liz Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 LOL,Cricket, I really spelled it right this time. A sable is a fur, I am not sure what the animal it comes from is called though.

Administrators Gail Posted December 18, 2008 Author Administrators Posted December 18, 2008 A sable is an animal, this I know because I have red sable paintbrushes (Is that like wearing fur?) Here is what I was able to find out about it: Quote: Sable- a flesh-eating mammal, closely allied to the common marten. It lives chiefly in Siberia, where it is hunted for its lustrous fur, which is of the highest value. It is brown, with grayish-yellow on the throat and with small grayish-yellow spots scattered on the sides of the neck. The animal, which is about a foot and a half long, lives in snowy regions, where hunting is difficult and dangerous, and is taken in traps only after patient effort. The Tartar sable is a species of the weasel genus, found in northern Russia and Siberia, and the pekan of North America is sometimes known as the Hudson Bay sable. The skins of all these varieties are frequently dyed and made to imitate the true Russian sable. Sable hair is used in the manufacture of artists' pencils. Sorry, but I couldn't find a photo.

Amelia Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 OK back to strange carol lyrics. How many of you actually sing the second stanza of Joy To The World? Did you know it really is this one? No more let sins and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found, Far as the curse is found, Far as, far as, the curse is found. What a cheerful song!

Amelia Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Jingle Bells A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride And soon Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side The horse was lean and lank Misfortune seemed his lot We got into a drifted bank And then we got upsot The term "upsot" means to imbibe spirits, ie drink. If they drove into a snow bank I would think they got upsot before the ride.

ChildofChrist Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 While not a Christmas song, we had a Doris Day on a 78 Vinyl RECORD back in the late 1950s. *****Aba Daba Honeymoon***** "Aba, Daba, Daba, Daba, Daba, Daba, Dab, Said the Chimpee to the Monk. Baba, Daba, Daba, Daba, Daba, Daba, Dab, Said the Monkey to the Chimp. All night long they'd chatter away, All day long they were happy and gay, Swinging and Singing in their honky-tonky way!" Words and music by Arthur Fields and Walter Donovan, 1914 -------------------------- Now back to Christmas and the songs of the season...As I was singing in church on this past Sabbath "Angels We Have Heard on High". The chorus of Gloria in excelsis Deo just smacks of Latin and the Roman church. Quote Wakan Tanka Kici Un ~~Child of Christ~~
Amelia Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 "Gloria in excelsis Deo" is latin for "Glory to God in the highest" Quote <p><span style="color:#0000FF;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">"Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you."</span></span> Eph 4:29</span><br><br><img src="http://banners.wunderground.com/weathersticker/gizmotimetemp_both/US/OR/Fairview.gif" alt="Fairview.gif"> Fairview Or</p>
Dottie Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Amelia - - "Upsot" was probably meant to be "upset," but doesn't rhyme, so the writer changed the spelling a little--artistic license The Twelve Days of Christmas idea is drifting around the internet, but is not factual--look it up in Snopes. Hope you have a blessed Chistmas!! Quote

I think I heard somewhere that the author/composer of that song was a Seventh-day Adventist. Or was converted sometime after he'd written the song. Somebody correct me please....
